The one in a million shot

It's the one-in-a-million shot some people spend years trying to capture


It's the one-in-a-million shot some people spend years trying to capture. Fisherman and photographer Matt Deans was motoring back from an unsuccessful day's fishing with his father and cousin when they saw the dolphin off Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, Australia. He grabbed a battered old point-and-shoot camera he keeps on the boat to take fishing photos. "It was just one of those magic moments when all the elements combined,' he said. "As soon as we cut the outboard back, it let fly. Breaching the ocean's calm surface, the dolphin arced high in the air before splashing down and disappearing underwater. That was the catch of the day, I guess."


British artist Ben Johnson retouches an area of his painting "Looking Back to Richmond House" at the National Gallery in London. The painting, which shows a view looking towards Trafalgar Square and Whitehall from the National Gallery, is based on the 18th century Canaletto painting "The Stonemason's Yard". This is the first time a painting has been completed in public at the gallery, and forms one of three huge cityscape canvases in Johnson's show, "Modern Perspectives"...
